Chapter 1296 Everyone has a time when they are young
Chen Cheng and his friends guessed correctly that the 'Blood and Glory' was indeed looking for them, but they really didn't expect that this ship was actually King William's ship.
Could it be that William is also a serious case of Chuunibyou?
And William did not come alone. There were four people with him. Walter recognized one of them, the mayor of The Hague, Wim Detmann. As for the other three, they were all unfamiliar faces.
"King William. Mayor Wim Detmann." Walter greeted the two men. "Carefully board the boat. Kassin, Khedira, go and help the others."
It was obvious that these people were not the type who were often at sea, and they were used to a life of luxury. Boarding the ship also caused them a lot of trouble.
After Kasim and the others helped the man onto the boat, William said with a wry smile, "At your age, even getting on a boat is so tiring. Walter, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
Walter said, "King William, you are in good health. I wonder why you are here."
William said, "Why else would I come? To find your boss, of course! Where is he?"
Walter coughed twice and said, “There have been banquets on the ship these days, and the boss drank a little too much yesterday!”
William laughed and said, "Everyone has a youthful past. When I was young, I was even called the 'Beer Prince'!"
Although King William is now deeply loved by the Dutch people, his serious, responsible and approachable image makes countless Dutch people give him a thumbs up when they mention him, but King William was a different person when he was young.
When William was young and studying at the Leiden School in England, he was a guy who would go to every party and get drunk every time he drank. At that time, he was addicted to alcohol and was known as the No. 1 playboy in the Netherlands. He was very different from the image of his respected mother, Queen Beatrix, known as the "CEO of the Netherlands". At that time, when the Dutch people mentioned this prince, they all sighed and thought that having this crown prince was absolutely a shameful thing.
William's "return of the prodigal son" should be attributed to his wife, Princess Maxima Soreyae. Now in the eyes of the Dutch people, their princess has a higher reputation than William.
But that was not the case back then. The wedding of William and Maxima was opposed by the whole country of the Netherlands, and William almost gave up the throne because of this.
First of all, I have to say that Maxima's story is not a "crow turning into a phoenix" story. Maxima was born into a noble family and was a standard academic master. When the two met, she was an absolute elite official in the financial world. She was much more powerful than William, the "No. 1 Playboy in the Netherlands". Marrying William was really "marrying down".
The reason why the Dutch people opposed their marriage was because Maxima's father was a ministerial-level official during the Argentine fascist regime, and the Dutch people had been harmed by the fascists. How could they support their marriage?
At a crucial moment, it was William's mother, Queen Beatrix, who publicly accepted her daughter-in-law. Maxima also worked hard to learn Dutch, integrate into Dutch society, and interact with the public, winning their hearts. It was with his wife's support that William finally turned around and became the man he is today.
After William finished speaking, he looked at Walter, with an expression that implied: 'What Xiao Peng is playing with now are what I had left over from the past.'
"Walter, we came all this way here and we can't see Xiao, right?" William looked at Walter: "This is too inhumane? Xiao wouldn't turn me away if he knew I came to see him, right?"
Walter glanced at the person behind William and said, "King William, if it were just you coming here, I think the boss would definitely welcome you, but... you have a lady here..."
He said it very tactfully, but everyone understood what he meant.
William coughed twice: "How about we go and wait for him first?"
"That's perfect!" Walter nodded quickly. "I'll take you guys inside. Would you like to have a drink first? Have you eaten yet? The Chinese food made by the chefs on our ship is the best! I'll have them prepare lunch for you!"
William and the others were all scowling. What time is it? You've even considered lunch for us? You really don't plan to wake Xiao Peng up...
But it is understandable. If Walter really goes to wake Xiao Peng up, it means that he will be laid off and go home soon.
"Well, okay, let's wait for him first." William said, "Compared to Xiao's 'Luna', my 'Blood and Glory' is just like a toy."
Walter suppressed a laugh and said, "King William, at least your ship's name is more domineering!"
"Right?" William said cheerfully, "I think so too. I came up with the name myself!"
Well, the root cause of chuunibyou has been found.
William and the others waited on the boat until the afternoon. They first waited in the bar, then in the restaurant. Finally, William simply suggested sitting at the door of Xiao Peng's room and waiting! He wanted to see Xiao Peng's ashamed look!
Walter and the others couldn't stop them, so in the end they had no choice but to prepare afternoon tea and pastries for them. You just wait here!
Of course, Walter was still very kind and did not use the "Dutch style treat".
Queen Maxima once talked about the characteristics of the Dutch in a speech. She said: "Holland is a cup of coffee and a biscuit." If you visit a Dutch home, most of the time you will be greeted with only a cup of coffee and a small biscuit.
That’s right, just one cookie!
This is typical Dutch hospitality etiquette.
There are historical reasons why the Dutch are so stingy.
Although Germany occupied the Netherlands early on, the Dutch people's resistance was no joke. Starting in February 1941, the Dutch people began to strike and riot. At first, Germany tried to appease them, but the resistance spread to other cities. This infuriated the Germans. Starting in 1942, Germany began to take tough measures against the Dutch. The basic content was: arrest, arrest, arrest, kill, kill, kill. The Netherlands became the only Western European country to suffer famine during the entire World War II.
This has led to their current habit of living a stingy life.
This is actually very similar to Daxia. Look at the old people in Daxia who have experienced famine and they cherish food very much. They then educate their descendants from generation to generation to cherish food.
There is nothing more terrible in this world than being hungry.
Of course, being hungry is a terrible thing, and eating too much good food is also terrible.
William and his friends are just full now - the kitchen staff of 'Luna' headed by Lao Liu are all top-notch!
Forget it, ignore Xiao Peng, let’s eat first!
As a result, when they were eating happily, Xiao Peng's door finally opened. William was holding a glutinous rice ball in his hand and was about to put it in his mouth. When he saw Xiao Peng, he didn't care about eating anymore: "Xiao, are you okay?"
